It Takes A Village
SMME Success Demands Collective Commitment, Jedd Harris, Chief Strategy Officer at Sourcefin
We’ve all seen the numbers:
· More than 90% of businesses in South Africa are SMMEs
· SMMEs contribute to 40% of the country’s GDP
· 60% of the workforce are employed by SMMEs
· 75% of new job opportunities are created by SMMEs
And yet… our SMMEs are still consistently locked out of funding opportunities. A lack of formal financial records, high perceived risk by lenders or poor credit histories prevent SMMEs from accessing essential funding that can drive and grow successful and scalable businesses.
